A letter received from a recent subscriber
Dear Mary,
Thank you for your email and phone call. The service was immensely helpful and I was able to compare many different kinds of opportunities in different regions, past auctions, sold prices, etc… As it was my first project, I had to do a lot of fine tuning.
Success buying post auction
Eventually I decided to focus my search on development land with planning permission in the Home Counties and shortly after, found a lot that interested me, went to auction and bought it post auction for slightly less than the price at which it was available for.
Invaluable research tool
As a research tool, the site is invaluable for a new developer like me, as it allows you to get a good feel for auction market dynamics, especially by looking at unsold lots, or lots being offered for the second or third time at auction. Eventually you understand how the auction market works and can develop a successful strategy, this wouldn’t have been possible without EIG in such a short amount of time.
I look forward to using your services in the future for my next project.
Kind regards,
F. R - Property Developer, Surrey

The Most Important Document in the Legal Pack? The One That’s Missing.
Legal packs are often treated as the definitive source of truth in a property transaction. But in reality, they are anything but complete. While they provide essential information, they are built to meet minimum requirements - not to offer full transparency. And in many cases, it’s not what’s included that creates risk, but what’s missing.

Guide Prices: Why Buyers Should Treat Them as a Guide to the Reserve
Guide prices are one of the most misunderstood elements of the auction process. Too often, buyers treat them as an indication of a property’s value, when in reality they are designed to signal something entirely different, the likely reserve. In an increasingly competitive and dynamic auction market, understanding this distinction is critical to making informed decisions and avoiding costly assumptions.

There’s So Much More Than the Aroma of Hot Coffee…
There’s so much more to selling a property than creating the perfect first impression. While details like fresh coffee, open windows, and careful staging can help set the scene, today’s buyers are looking for something far more important - clarity, confidence, and certainty. And that doesn’t come from how a property feels, but from how well it’s prepared behind the scenes.
